    Is there a way to have a cell alert you while your in a different sheet?

    Is there a way to have a cell that is in a different sheet in the same workbook that your working in, alert you that it's still an empty cell and needs to be looked at?

    It is possible depending on a condition.
    What is the condition that should trigger the alert? (ie: When you open the workbook, when a calculation changes values, etc??)

    You don't have to put the code in every sheet. You can just put this in the Workbook Class module:

    I'm just learning to use the VBA, I will try this. I appreciate the help, it just takes me a little more time to mentally process it and apply it than the average excel user, thank you.
